Ever wondered what it would be like to live in a home that has it all? We all talk about wanting to do one thing or another to green our lives, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to experience and learn about how all these new and old green technologies can work in unison? To be able to gain firsthand experience and an understanding of what life could be like if someone just had the guts to build a home that had it all, and would open it to other Environmental Stewardship fans to take it out for a spin themselves? Throw boring incrementalism to the wind! Experience what the clean, green building future holds today.

Enter the year 2050 goal of the 2,000 Watt Society. Google that for a mind opening challenge. Most of us have heard about "hypermiling" a car to gain the most MPG, but how about being able to hypermile a home? How many MPGs does green building get?
